Clarke POV.
When I woke up I was still on the drop ship. Looking around I saw few blankets scattered around and most people were freezing. Myself included. I'd fallen asleep sitting up leaning against Bellamy and I nudged him with my elbow to wake him up. I had no idea of the time but I didn't really care. We needed to get to Mount Weather and we needed to leave now.
"What time is it?" He grumbled.
"No idea but we're leaving for Mount Weather. Come on," I tried to get up but he held on to me tighter.
"Do you have a death wish? It's not safe out there Clarke. We have no idea what we're up against."
"We can't sit here freezing and starving when there are supplies out there that can help us." I gestured around the room to emphasise my point, most people were turning blue with cold and the thin blankets were doing very little to ward off the cold.
"You're right. We need to do something, but going to Mount Weather isn't an option."
"It's our only option."
Later in the afternoon me and Raven went out to gather some water from the stream and any berries, nuts etc that we could as rations were low, especially with Winter coming up. On the way back we saw an animal looking something like a small bear so we quietly took a detour before looping round the back of camp and round to the front to come through the gates, however we came across another hidden shelter. We'd come across many along the way, but not many had been that great. A few medical supplies and a couple blankets but otherwise stuffed with out of date food and bugs. We struggled to tug the door open, but we realised we needed to get it open and hunt through it, you never know we could have hit the jackpot and not have to go to Mount Weather and risk our lives after all. Leaving Raven tucking into some food, I returned to camp and came back 10 minutes later with Bellamy in tow. A few minutes later, the three of us dropped to the bottom of the shelter and found a torch. Minimal light was better than none. Looking around we quickly found this shelter to be like the rest of them. I pulled a map out of my backpack and proceeded to mark this as another spot on it.
"Holy shit," Raven whispered. I stuffed the map back into my bag and walked over to her and Bellamy.
"What is it?" I asked. Raven showed me the contents of the box she'd found. Electrical goods. A radio, three mobile phones and a walkie-talkie set. They looked battered and beyond broken.
"Are they any good?" Bellamy asked.
"Not sure, some of it might be useful for contacting the Ark if I can hook them up to their satellites." We made our way back to camp, keeping our find to ourselves telling everyone who knew there was nothing in there. Raven headed straight to the drop ship to see if anything could be salvaged. An hour later she emerged and came to Bellamy's tent to find us.
"You want the good or bad news first ?" She asked. Me and Bellamy exchanged a nervous glance before Raven continued. "Good news is the radio works. Bad news is the phones are beyond repair and the radio's a normal radio as in listening to music off it. There's more. We're not alone down here."
"We already knew that," Bellamy fired off quickly, apparently pissed off that all we got out of all the trouble was a few songs to play.
"I don't mean Grounders." I straightened up and tensed. What did she mean? More people survived all them years ago? It couldn't be possible. It wasn't possible. Radiation would have killed them. But the Grounders managed to survive, it is possible.
"I tried to connect to the Ark's signal to get the devices to work. There was another signal so I looked into it. It was still working and based 20-30 miles away from here going North East." Me and Bellamy stared at each other. "What is it?" Raven pressed.
"Mount Weather," I cleared my throat. "Mount Weather is around 20-30 miles from here, North East. That's where all our supplies are to survive Winter. We can't go though, not now. We have no idea what we're up against. We don't know how many of them there are, they're obviously more advanced than us-they've survived living down here and they seem just as technologically advanced, if not more than the Ark. They must know we're here. Why haven't they done anything about us?" Many questions swirled in my mind but I only voiced a few. This couldn't be happening. Bellamy and Raven exchanged conversation before I briefly recalled her leaving the tent mumbling something I don't really remember. Bellamy knew what was going on in my mind and stood behind me. He kissed along my neck and kept his arms placed on my shoulders. He began to massage them and I felt some of the tension leave. I relaxed into his grip and moaned softly. Turning around slowly, I leaned up and kissed him on the lips. It quickly turned more passionate and our clothes in a pile on the floor before we spent yet another lust filled night together. I briefly remembered wondering if Bellamy loved me but quickly dismissed the thought. I slept until nightfall, and for the first time since coming to Earth it wasn't full of broken sleep, nightmares or a plagued mind.
Me and Bellamy were lounging in his tent talking about nothing in particular when we heard the faint noise of music. We quickly dismissed it until a few minutes later when we heard a group of teenagers singing at the tops of their voices. Raven must have gave them the radio. We vacated the tent and headed to the heart of camp where people were sat around the fire singing as loud as they could, the music barely audible above them. How is everyone so calm? We're all about to starve to death. Either that or the cold will kill us. Morale's high I guess. Bellamy pulled me down beside him and before long I'd rolled my eyes and joined everyone in singing. We may aswell enjoy one night before we try and solve this car crash of a situation in the morning.
